inverted uterus.. effects sonogram??

I was told that since i have an inverted uterus that it will be hard to see anything until 12wks into the pregnancy. I'm bummed because i have an appointment to try to see my babys heart beat on the 3rd but i would only bbe 6wks.

I have a retro inverted uterus and the damn thing fell over on me in Decemeber...literally shifted to 45degs in 3month period of time because the ligaments or something stopped holding it in place. They said the same thing to me about ultrasounds and we saw a beautiful picture at 6weeks 1day. It just took a few minutes to find where my uterus was actually laying. Just make them hunt for your LO.

I have one too but an experienced tech doing a transvaginal ultrasound should be able to see something earlier if the machine is high quality and they know how to tilt the wand. I learned a lot about it last pregnancy. Today I couldn't see anything on the abdominal but was sent to an imaging center and tech had 16 years experience and just pressed down with the wand and the baby appeared:-). Good luck:-). Hope u get to see baby earlier

I have the same. There is no risk to the baby. It may be difficult to see with an abdominal ultrasound. But you should be able to see it with a transvaginal ultrasound. Just had one today and saw the heartbeat.

I have the a tipped uterus and I have been getting vaginal ultrasounds since week 5. I'm considered high risk because I only have half a uterus (unicornuate uterus).

I got to see the heartbeat at 6 & 7 weeks. My high risk doctor said that the uterus will move to the normal position by 20 weeks. IF it doesn't move to it's normal position then theres a chance of a MC.

Usually between the 10th -12th week of pregnancy, your uterus will no longer be tipped or Ã¢â‚¬Å“backwards.Ã¢â‚¬ This should cause no difficulty for the pregnancy or for labor and birth. If the uterus does not move into a Ã¢â‚¬Å“middleÃ¢â‚¬ position, miscarriage can occur, but this is very rare.
